Dog lovers rejoice! Corgis and Old English Sheepdogs are no longer endangered.

The two breeds experienced a massive surge in popularity last year, and are now no longer at risk of dying out.

And we know someone who will be very pleased to hear the news.

Both were at risk of disappearing from the UK after numbers fell so low they were put on the Kennel Club’s ‘Vulnerable Native Breeds’ and ‘At Watch’ lists.

In 2014 the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, the Queen’s favourite type of dog, was considered vulnerable for the first time in the breed’s history because there were only 274 puppy registrations.

However, in 2015 there was a 34 per cent increase in registrations – bumping the dogs up to the ‘At Watch’ list.

Meanwhile Old English Sheepdogs – aka Dulux dogs – have seen a 20 per cent boost in registrations – from 405 to 495 – so it’s no longer on the ‘At Watch’ list at all.

To put this into perspective, the UK’s most popular breed – Labrador Retriever – had 32,507 puppies registered in 2015.

Unfortunately, some breeds are becoming even rarer. The Bedlington Terrier was just put on the At Watch list for the first time, while the English Setter and Irish Setter are now classed as Vulnerable Native Breeds.

Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Secretary, said: ‘Whilst it is good news for the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Old English Sheepdog, we are concerned that the English Setter and Irish Terrier are dropping in numbers and the Bedlington Terrier is now included on the At Watch list for the first time.’
